Re: Turning off Etherpad

[Toerless Eckert <[e-mail]>]

So, what is he plan for archiving etherpad.ietf.org ?
Can/will the be made read-only/no new data ?

Or is all that content that may still have URLs in emails and other places
pointing to it deemed to be lost except for the subset of pages that
where converted into IETF meeting minuts by WG chairs ?

If all this content is meant to be lost because it is too difficult to
change to read-only, is this the same strategy for codimd ? Aka:
if you do not save it, it will be lost at some point in time ?

If converting to read-only is too difficult, maybe the whole tree
can just be put up for download as a tar file for any future researchers...
However, i am not sure if all the content is meant to be public, or if
we did assume some degree of possible confidentiality because of non-searchable
namespace.

Btw: I think it would be great if codimd would solve these issues:
You can only create new names under whatever.ietf.org/2021/<your-string-here>
and after 2 years the whole years directory tree turns read-only with
indexing/search...
